Cancer does not rest. It doesn't sleep at the end of the day. It doesn't flee the cold for warm weather during school vacation. Cancer is relentless, showing no favorites and taking no prisoners. Wealthy or poor, educated or illiterate, young or old, it doesn't discriminate. Cancer has no friends, no allies, no comrades. It doesn't need any. It does its damage on its own. It is its own army. It is insidious, creeping into the lives of everyone, leaving a path of destruction and tragedy in its wake.We are hosting a Spaghetti Dinner on February 2, 2019 at the American Legion in Eldred. This event is to assist Nancy Thomas with costs associated with fighting cancer. We will have dinner, a basket raffle, and 50/50 raffle.Eldred local, Nancy Thomas, was diagnosed with cancer in September 2016. She beat cancer once and then it came back with a vengeance. Recently, her physician discovered that the cancer not only came back it’s growing. Chemotherapy is not working. They would like to try an experimental treatment at Roswell. This treatment requires Nancy to be within 45 minutes of the hospital for the duration of the treatment. The costs of housing and food for this type of stay will be exorbitant.We hope you can find it in your heart to assist us in helping Nancy fight this disease. We hope to see you at the Spaghetti Dinner!https://www.facebook.com/Fight-Cancer-with-Nancy-2005344236244946/

Benjamin Franklin once said, “An investment in knowledge pays the best interest,” and it is clear First Citizens knows a thing or two about the value of investing. As 2018 ended, the Bank donated funds to forty education-based programs across twelve counties in Pennsylvania. For many years, First Citizens has been a proven advocate for education, donating time, talent and money to help the youth in our communities.

The Mobile Lab has reached over one million students since it hit the road nine years ago.The Eastern Lebanon County Foundation (ELCO) was another organization who benefited this year from First Citizens generosity. ELCO is an independent, nonprofit organization dedicated to enriching the education, values, and cultural experience of youth by extending their current educational opportunities through innovative programs. Similarly, The Dutchmen Foundation works to supplement the academic, cultural, and extra-curricular programs of the Annville-Cleona School District; they also received a donation from First Citizens in Lancaster County. “We’re proud to take a leadership role in advancing education throughout our market; we view it as our fiscal responsibility,” Randall E. Black, CEO and President, said. “Students who are equipped with a solid education and financial literacy have a greater chance to become leaders in the communities where they live.” Other organizations on the receiving end of the First Citizens education donations included: The Center for Dairy Excellence, Tioga County Foundation, Keystone Elk Country Alliance, Bloomsburg University, Archie's Place, Hempfield Foundation, Lancaster County Career and Technology Foundation, Rainbow's End Youth Services, Spanish American Civic Association, Cedar Foundation, Endless Mountain Music Festival, Inc., Manheim Central Foundation for Educational Enrichment, Sexual Assault Resource Center of Lebanon and Schuylkill Counties, Bethany Children's Home, State College Area School District Education Foundation, Columbia Education Foundation, Compass Mark, Inc., Elizabethtown Public Library, Ephrata Public Library, Lancaster Education Foundation, Lancaster Science Factory, Spartan Foundation for Education, Donegal School District Education Foundation, Falcon Foundation, Palmyra Public Library, First Community Foundation, Keystone Central Foundation, Big Impact Group, Northeast PA Manufacturers and Employers Council, Inc., Schuylkill Chamber Foundation, Inc., Thaddeus Stevens Foundation, PA Breast Cancer Coalition, Discovery Space of Central Pennsylvania, Inc., Penns Valley Education Foundation, Inc., and the Pennsylvania State University Philanthropic Fund.

Governor Tom Wolf announced that the Commonwealth Response
Coordination Center (CRCC) at the Pennsylvania Emergency Management
Agency (PEMA) headquarters in Harrisburg activated at 8:00 AM in
response to Winter Storm Harper, expected to affect the state today
through Monday.

“We are taking an aggressive approach to preparedness for this winter
storm and having the CRCC activated ensures all hands are on deck and
focused on a coordinated effort to provide help where needed as quickly
as possible,” Gov. Wolf said. “First and foremost, I want all
Pennsylvanians to be safe. We are doing all we can to help with that.”

The CRCC coordinates the deployment of state agency resources to
counties that do not have the capability to respond as needed or have
exhausted all available resources at the county level. PEMA liaison
officers are ready to report to county emergency operations centers if
needed.

The CRCC is staffed with personnel from PEMA and multiple state
agencies, including the departments of Transportation, Conservation and
Natural Resources, Environmental Protection, Fish and Boat Commission,
Game Commission, General Services, Health, Public Utility Commission,
Military and Veterans Affairs, Health, PA State Police, Human Services,
Revenue, and PA Turnpike, as well as the American Red Cross and Civil
Air Patrol. Other state agencies are on notice to report if needed.

“Activation of the CRCC is the continuation of the planning process
for this storm that started days ago,” said PEMA Acting Director Randy
Padfield. “We expect this storm to be a significant one, and conditions
could change rapidly. We’ll be closely working with our county and state
agency partners to monitor the storm and coordinate any response as
needed.”Governor Wolf signed a state of emergency declaration
yesterday to allow for increased assistance with storm-related needs.
The commonwealth also imposed speed restrictions and a ban on all
commercial traffic, including buses on most interstates and the
Pennsylvania Turnpike from noon today through noon Sunday.

State officials urge motorists to use caution during the storm,
postpone travel if possible, reduce speeds and be aware of the potential
for rapidly changing weather and roadway conditions.Pennsylvanians are encouraged to monitor state agency social media
accounts for the most up-to-date information on any emergency or
weather-related situation affecting the state, in addition to any social
media accounts for your local emergency management offices.

HARRISBURG – Rep. Clint Owlett (R-Tioga/Bradford/Potter) has been named to four standing committees within the Pennsylvania House of Representatives for the 2019-20 Legislative Session. They are the Agriculture and Rural Affairs, Game and Fisheries, Health and Commerce committees.“I am thrilled at the assignments I have been given and can’t wait to get to work on reviewing and shaping the legislation that comes through these committees,” said Owlett.Within the legislative process, the committees are where all bills are first sent and reviewed. During the committee process, amendments can be offered, discussion on the bills takes place and sometimes public or informational hearings are held to gather more information on a legislative issue before a vote is taken on whether or not to advance a bill for a vote before the full House.“I am most excited to have the opportunity to serve on the Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee and the Game and Fisheries Committee. The issues that fall under each of these committees are extremely important to the people of the 68th District,” said Owlett. “Having grown up on a dairy farm, I am naturally attuned to the many struggles of today’s farmers, especially our dairy farmers. And as a hunter, I am interested in how we best manage our state’s animal populations while continuing to attract more folks to the wonderful sports of hunting and fishing.”Specifically, the House Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee deals with an array of legislation directly affecting the state’s farmers and farming operations. It also handles issues impacting the timber industry, horse and harness racing regulation, food safety and restaurant inspections, Dog Law enforcement and kennel licensure, the use of pesticides, and the administration of state-funded programs to promote agriculture in Pennsylvania.The House Game and Fisheries Committee receives and reviews annual performance and status reports from the Pennsylvania Game Commission and the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission. It also approves the setting of license fees that support each commission and addresses all legislation affecting them.“Serving on the Health Committee will give me the opportunity to be on the ground floor of legislative proposals impacting health care across the Commonwealth,” said Owlett. “Among my top priorities will be addressing the addiction crisis facing our state and ensuring that rural regions, like the Northern Tier, have access to top-notch health care services, physicians and facilities.”The Health Committee focuses on issues such as abortion, disease management, stem cell research, health savings accounts, hospital-acquired infections, Medical Assistance, patient safety, pharmaceutical issues, telemedicine and much more.“The Commerce Committee ties in to my dedication to enhance the business climate in Pennsylvania and attract more employers to our state,” said Owlett. “This is yet another new committee to me and I look forward to the challenges it will provide.”The Commerce Committee is responsible for originating legislation and overseeing implementation of programs which affect Pennsylvania companies. The committee has primary jurisdiction over corporate governance through the business corporation law, as well as regulation of offers of sale and credit through such statutes as the Goods and Services Installment Sales Act, the Unfair Sales Act, and the Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Act.For more legislative information, check out Owlett’s website at www.RepOwlett.com and sign up for legislative emails providing highlights of district and Harrisburg happenings and upcoming events, or “like” him on Facebook at www.Facebook.com/RepOwlett.
